Built during the late 1840s and early 1850s by a combined con- struction effort of Catholic Jesuit Priests (known as Black Robes) and a band of Coeur d’Alene Indians, this large church symbolizes the historical religious connec- tion between two different cultures. Jesuit priests first came to the Northwest at the request of the Flathead Indians in Montana. The priests, under the supervision of Father DeSmet, soon built a mission church in the Bitterroot Valley. In the 1840s, the Jesuits came to Idaho and a church was constructed on the banks of the St. Joe River, near present day St. Maries. However, annual spring flooding forced this church to be abandoned. A relocation site was selected some thirty miles to the north. This time the mission was built on a hilltop well above the flood plain. Many of the Coeur d’Alene tribe mem- bers during this era embraced Catholicism, PHOTO partly due to a tribal legend. This legend told COURTESY RIGHT: The Cataldo Mission—Idaho’s oldest standing building.

Using primitive carpentry tools (broad axe, auger, drill, ropes, and pulleys) and building materials from the sur- rounding mountains and forests, not a single nail was used in the mission’s con- struction. Instead the builders drilled holes with hand drills and drove in pegs. The foot-thick walls were made from grass and mud interwoven and draped over poles that had been inserted into drilled holes in the huge square beams. When the church was completed in 1853, it measured ninety feet long, forty HICKS feet wide, and forty feet from floor to CECIL OF the huckleberry blue paneled ceiling.

  • 12. Owyhee Uplands Section
    12. Owyhee Uplands Section Section Description The Owyhee Uplands Section is part of the Columbia Plateau Ecoregion. The Idaho portion, the subject of this review, comprises southwestern Idaho from the lower Payette River valley in the northwest and the Camas Prairie in the northeast, south through the Hagerman Valley and Salmon Falls Creek Drainage (Fig. 12.1, Fig. 12.2). The Owyhee Uplands spans a 1,200 to 2,561 m (4,000 to 8,402 ft) elevation range. This arid region generally receives 18 to 25 cm (7 to 10 in) of annual precipitation at lower elevations. At higher elevations, precipitation falls predominantly during the winter and often as snow. The Owyhee Uplands has the largest human population of any region in Idaho, concentrated in a portion of the section north of the Snake River—the lower Boise and lower Payette River valleys, generally referred to as the Treasure Valley. This area is characterized by urban and suburban development as well as extensive areas devoted to agricultural production of crops for both human and livestock use. Among the conservation issues in the Owyhee Uplands include the ongoing conversion of agricultural lands to urban and suburban development, which limits wildlife habitat values. In addition, the conversion of grazing land used for ranching to development likewise threatens wildlife habitat. Accordingly, the maintenance of opportunity for economically viable Lower Deep Creek, Owyhee Uplands, Idaho © 2011 Will Whelan ranching operations is an important consideration in protecting open space. The aridity of this region requires water management programs, including water storage, delivery, and regulation for agriculture, commercial, and residential uses.
